I was wondering why the 'Overstock guy' was so interested in election fraud.
Now I understand.

Nice folks those Obamas.
Did some digging. The guy looks legit, his story was the same a year and a half ago ... and Fox didn't exactly run with it when they first heard it.

I've mentioned things in the middle east a few times of late. Recent headlines make it second only to the election steal and Chicom espionage (which may, in large part, be one in the same story) for consideration.
Old salts will remember the disastrous results of putting too many US assets in the Persian Gulf with an eye towards influencing Iran.
As our President's attention is desperately needed inside the beltway, adventurism in that god forsaken pond seems ill advised and most certainly ill timed.
None the less, it appears deep state wants to troll for trouble there even while incompetent at addressing sedition and PRC espionage and sabotage at home. Better profit margin?
Or ill advised quid pro quo for wonder kid's treaties?
Either way, it's a crap place to sail around in if the Iranians don't want you there. Oil independent, there's no pressing national security interest for the US to be poking the bear.
And - operating indistinguishable platforms from likely combatants is risking becoming one yourself. Iranian ASW being what it is, they won't discriminate a nuclear powered American sub from a conventionally powered - but nuclear armed - Israeli sub.
Shallow, constrained waters.
Dotted with legacy mines.
Damm strange place to be sending our largest submarine. Better suited to an old UK O boat than a refurbished boomer. Remember, not only is it shallow, big tankers can sit 100 foot deep when full laden with crude.
Put enough men, sharp and explosive things, and mendacious allies, all in proximity with sharia belivin' loons and there's a real good chance things will lead to shootin'.
But, maybe that's deep state's intent?
We've played that game before.
And, as I well remember, it turned out ugly.
(propaganda triumph for the mullahs, here's how they recall it https://english.khamenei.ir/news/2171/Legion-of-Merit-awarded-to-the-one-who-killed-290-passengers )
PS - it's been a slow burn all year. Lost in the fear porn of WuFlu (necessary for the vote by mail scam) was this https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/32600/warning-to-iran-ac-130w-gunship-practices-slaying-boats-with-u-s-navy-in-the-persian-gulf
Maybe after a rush of orders for Lockheed, Raytheon and friends,deep state wants Biden to come as the great peacemaker? Such an apologetic figure could recommit the US to the Iranian nuke deal Obama was so proud of.
Update - evening of 24 Dec Some words on the matter of Israel and Iran. How much is to be believed?

UPDATE - dunno why but this is one sign there is some adult supervision in/of DOD.
In - likely - unrelated reporting ...
Short and to the point ...

Rx remains the same.
Update - 12/25/20 Considerable reason to doubt the benevolence of folks behind the Pfizer vaccine.
America's patriotic, independent, and largely Christian middle class has a number of enemies.
The Davos globalists want only two kinds of humans, themselves as overlords and a smaller global population of workers and organ donors. The communist far left claims to want the never to be achieved utopia of possessionless, 'equal' workers (in truth the leaders just want to be Davos overlords), sharia proponents (marginal players if not equipped with WMDs by a bigger player) want nothing on earth but fundamentalist moslems, and Xi and the leaders of the CCP, who want America dead if necessary, a vassal state if possible.
It is the latter actor that got my interest yesterday, based on a video describing their plans for Taiwan.

Over the last decades what has China bought and built?
Anti carrier ballistic missiles.
Anti ship cruise missiles.
Over the horizon radar.
Ocean surveillance satellites.
Ballistic missile submarines.
When your nasty neighbor is buying car loads of buffalo guns
and you're the only buffalo –
that's called a clue
Short story every American must read.
Bottom line - PRC (far more likely PRC, not Russia) had amazing access to US critical systems.
Now that it's discovered its agents of influence in the US insist on blaming Russia.
Update - 12/20/20 And our fish will rot from the top if Biden successfully steals the White House
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WT2x6UjTUhQ
Update - 12/21/20 Our political class kisses Xis ass and kicks ours
Now that the election has been stolen and the Chinese agent Biden appears set to occupy the White House, guess what policy the AMA is ready to reverse?
https://covidcalltohumanity.org/ama-rescinds-statement-against-the-use-of-hcq-for-covid-19-treatment/
Yup. The same stuff that works in Switzerland - and a host of other countries - works here in America too.
So the fear porn was just to assist the 'vote by mail' steal of an election - and make billions on a potentially deadly vaccine.
If you lost a family member to WuFlu get an attorney. Fauci and co. have let Americans die to get Trump out of office,
It's that simple.
And I've been saying it for the better part of a year.
As for the vaccine - if you want to have children - SKIP IT.

Is China’s military a paper tiger that will fail miserably in real combat? So argues this video:
The narrator claims that some of the formidable picture we have of the Chinese military is due to China’s successful propaganda machine. He outlines three reasons to believe China’s military is weaker than it appears:
Both former and current People’s Liberation Army personal feel extremely disgruntled by their treatment at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party, and their loyalty would not be assured in a serious crisis. They’re also not well-trained, and got their asses kicked by Indian Ghatak reconnaissance troops in the most recent border clash. “Reports indicated they snapped the necks of at least 18 Chinese soldiers.”
China’s air force is ill trained and badly equipped. “The Chinese pilots have very limited exposure when it comes to real battle in the skies or exercise like Red Flag. Unlike American, French, Russian, or Indian pilots they have not been exposed to different tactics implemented by different air forces and air defense battalions.” The Chengdu J-20 fighter, made with stolen American tech, is not particularly stealthy, has no export customers, and China is still buying Russian Su-35s. “Chinese avionics, sensor technology, and electronic warfare capabilities are generations behind American or European ones.”
China’s navy has multiple problems. Chinese subs are loud and easily tracked, and the Shenyang J-15 carrier plane (a copy of the Russian Su-33) “uses indigenous Shenyang Li Ming WS-10H engines which are underpowered.” I’m not sure how valid the last point is, as there are reports that Shenyang FC-31 carrier plane just started mass production.
China is seldom as strong, or as weak, as it appears to be. The video only touches on a few aspects of China’s military, so it’s hard to making sweeping statements based solely on the points presented. Still, it does provide additional data points.

‘Paper Tiger’?
Dunno ’bout their Army – or much of their Air Force, but I use to know something about contemporary war at sea.
Back before they were so interested in ‘climate change’ the Naval War College had an excellent set of studies on the Chinese Navy. The best of them focused on the area most likely (along with spys, code-breaking and electronic warfare) to have war winning consequences against the US Navy in the regional setting, mine warfare.
Bottom line then (2009)?
“…Washington seemingly has little choice but to adopt a cautious strategy concerning the Taiwan issue and face the uncomfortable truth that it cannot feasibly defend Taiwan militarily over the long term.”
So, while their forces aren’t the caliber of Reagan’s Navy – neither are ours anymore. Don’t kid yourself.
They’ve seriously, intensively, studied the anti-carrier and ASW problem for decades and started from where the Soviet Union left off.
Think, how comprehensive is their intel on the US Navy, our tactics, our leaders, our weapons systems and sensors (1)? Beyond their own resources the Israelis have provided them hardware including an AWACS, probably Patriot missiles, and God only knows what critical human intelligence.
They’ve got our number.
And, think asymmetrical.
Their diesel electric submarines clank some on diesel, but make as much noise as a flashlight when submerged and on battery. And when operating on battery they could sail over an ASW mine field that would kill a US SSN.
Similarly, not wanting to spend on TU-22Ms – but wanting the air component of an anticarrier strike the Chinese went with anti-ship ballistic missiles. Probably a better choice. They studies the ‘correlation of forces’ and almost certainly copied the old Soviet equation. 2-3 nuclear warheads per regiment. PROBABLY ALL anti carrier ballistic missiles ARE nuclear armed. CEP against a moving ship vs prob kill demands it.
Xi no doubt fully appreciates having the W-88 armed, multiple payload missiles that can hit US cities (both thanks to Bill Clinton) and knows tactical nukes against a CVBG will (now) not bring nuclear retaliation against his home land.
So my guess is Xi and the PLA and PLA-N flag officers will choose when to precipitate a crisis and end the unchallenged dominance of the US Navy – at least on their side of the Pacific.
